Adrian furrowed his eyebrows and looked toward Mya. “The Eight Hollows and Dragon Peak are on the island. Do you think that it’s wise to bring along a burdensome person when we can hardly fend for ourselves?”“I won’t be a burden,” Lena said as she adjusted her glasses. “I know the patterns and habits of the flora and fauna on the island. Moreover, I’ve worked in a biology research lab for a very long time. I can perform basic surgeries and wound dressing and as such can act as the field doctor of your troop.”Adrian beckoned Lena to continue speaking.She added, “My participation will increase the success rate of the rescue. There are many highly venomous creatures living on the island such as the Blonde Serpent. The most crucial factor when it comes to jungle warfare is the topography. There’s a saying that favorable timing, geographical condition, and teamwork are the deciding factors of a winning battle. In that sense, I serve as your geographical condition.“I understand the p

Adrian raised his head ever so slightly and quietly looked at the woman standing before him upon hearing her unexpected remark.Lena said with a determined expression, “My father is Battle Warrior Lucas’ subordinate and is also on the island. He’s the only family I have left in this world. I can’t live without him.”Adrian was rather surprised. He had not expected Lena to have such a life experience. “What is your father’s name?” he asked.“His name is Cesar Williams, and his moniker is Rage.”Upon hearing that, Mya said, “I’m acquainted with Rage. He’s an important person working under Lucas. He was even involved in the Battle of Azure Creek.”Adrian thought about it and rejected Lena, saying, “Since your father is on the island, that’s all the more reason I can’t bring you along. I won’t be able to justify it to your father if something happens to you.”“My mother passed away when I was young and hence am very close with my father. He’s serving Wyvern Peak while I’m working at

At four in the afternoon, Adrian left the office and came to the base square. Gloria, Ivy, Mya, Lena, and the other women were there familiarizing themselves with the equipment. He approached them and was to announce that he would be going over their battle strategy tonight.But upon spotting Adrian, Max walked from a nearby area and called out, “Legate!”Adrian stopped in his tracks.“Twenty-one people came from Windton to take part in the mission. They just arrived on base.”“I believe that should be Blaze and the others. Bring them to me,” Adrian said.“Yes, sir.”Soon, twenty-one men in Wyvern Peak’s battle suits walked over with long strides from a distance led by Blaze. They appeared extremely calm and exuded vague, murderous intents.“Blaze.“Alan.“Inviz.”“Greetings, War Legate Draco!” the twenty-one men called out in unison.Adrian turned around and his gaze landed on Blaze and the others. Frankly, he was rather surprised by their arrival. He asked, “Why are you al

The sky soon darkened, and Azure Creek was lit up brightly.Adrian arrived at the base’s meeting room ten minutes before eight. Gloria, Mya, Eira, Jenine, and the other women arrived in succession. Blaze, Alan, Inviz, Divine, and the men arrived soon after. Lena was there as well, and Max strode into the room.The crowd walked into the office and sat down on the sofas. Noticing that everyone had arrived, Adrian said, “Have you familiarized yourself with the Tempest-1? How did you find the experience?”Adrian then asked Ivy and the women, “What do you think?”“In truth, the Tempest-1 is similar to Bloody Rose’s aircraft. We’ve flown Bloody Ultimafighter so the Tempest F-1 is not a problem,” answered Ivy.Adrian nodded. “How about you, Lena? Have you memorized the basic operations of the glider?” He looked toward her.“Mya has shown me the ropes and I’ve memorized them.”Adrian said, “Remember that this rescue operation is much more dangerous than the ones we’ve experienced in the
Chapter 956
Favorable timing, geographic condition, and teamwork were the deciding factors of a winning battle. On the other hand, the island fog would ensure fifty percent of the operation's success.Adrian said, “We don’t know the specific location of Lucas and the other soldiers on the island. Our first task upon arrival is to meet up with them. I believe Lucas and Steel will have left markers along the way to await rescue, so we’ll need to locate these markers.”He continued, “Our troop will be performing an airborne entry to the island, so we can’t bring a large number of supplies and ammunition due to the weight limits on the parachute. Hence, Max will need to take on a task after we land on the island.”Adrian looked toward Max.“What is the task?” asked Max.“Prepare all the items on the list I’ve given you and store them in airdrop containers. Lock them with Wyvern Peak’s passcode and drop all the containers on the island after our landing. These airdrop containers will serve as the

Everyone turned their heads in puzzlement upon hearing the voice and saw a young woman slowly walk into the room. It was Juno who was a trainee at Azure Creek Military Academy.Adrian was surprised upon seeing her.Mya said in astonishment, “What brings you here, Juno?”Juno walked into the office and looked toward Adrian on the sofa with a smile. She said with squinted eyes, “I can do something that War Legate Draco can’t, huh?”“That’s Juno? Adrian’s younger sister?” Gloria asked Mya as she turned her head. She had heard Samantha talk about Juno over their days together.Mya said softly, “Yeah, that’s her. The girl is very intelligent, and Adrian intends to let her take over Wyvern Peak.”Gloria’s interest was piqued and wanted to find out the nineteen-year-old girl’s insight.Max said, “Juno is the most outstanding student of ACMA. She came in first in her recent examination. Why don’t we listen to her valuable opinion?”Adrian beckoned for her to speak. “Tell me, Juno. What
Chapter 958
Adrian beamed as he applauded continuously.Gloria said, “You’re so young yet so intelligent Juno. This method will indeed get us on the island. However, it’ll need to be well planned out. On top of that, it may be risky but the risk is not too high.” She gave Juno a thumbs up.Juno said, “We’ll drop a few hundred or even a few thousand specially-produced airdrop containers using Tempest-1. The Eight Hollows won’t be able to destroy them within a short period. Moreover, their snipers aren’t that highly-skilled. Even if they do hit the parachutes, we can install security measures in the containers so that if you’re hiding in those containers, you won’t be severely injured in the case of a free fall.”Adrian smiled upon hearing Juno’s remark. “It seems that I really am old. How did you come up with the idea, Juno?” he asked.“I played a survival game and was inspired by the airdrop container in the game. Serpent’s Haven has been encircled and it’ll be extremely difficult to perform a

After leaving Azure Creek’s base, Adrian headed to Drogoton in a helicopter. He arrived an hour later, and it was already eleven at night by then.In Gracia’s villa, Gracia, after completing a busy day at work, had dinner and took a shower in preparation to hit the sack. However, she received a call as soon as she got into bed.“Hello?“What? Why would I meet you so late at night? Can’t we talk about this tomorrow?“I’m exhausted after today’s work and I’m really sleepy.“Fine, fine. Wait for me at Glovern’s entrance. I’m coming now.”Gracia impatiently hung up the call and got out of bed. She threw on a skirt and short-sleeved top.The call came from Adrian. It was Gracia’s first time receiving a call from him. Ever since her sister’s return, Adrian’s guilt toward her had vanished.Gracia had no choice but to quickly grab her bag, put on her high heels, and head downstairs. She had no idea what brought Adrian to her. Ten minutes later, she arrived at Glovern. Adrian was alread
